wow... this is seriously good! thick and meaty...substituted Paul Newman Marinara sauce for the tomotoe sauce and couldnt find pepperoni sausage so just diced some 'pizza' pepperoni for the flavor. This one is a keeper!!

This is a wonderful spaghetti sauce. The only thing I changed was I did not use the bell peppers. My husband hates bell peppers and can pick the taste up no matter what. I'm glad the recipe made so much, so I can freeze the extras for later. GREAT RECIPE.

I'm Italian and this is possibly the best sauce I've ever had. I made this sauce for a big family get-together and everyone wanted to get the receipe. This is a great sauce not only for its taste and heartiness, but because it's versatile.

This is truly a delicious spaghetti recipe! I don't think you could mess this one up if you tried. After I had browned the meat and sauteed the veggies, I realized I didn't have any beef broth or tomatoes. The only thing in my pantry with tomatoes was Ragu PIZZA sauce. I had no choice but to substitute, and the taste was WONDERFUL! No one would have ever guessed. I did add 1 extra beef bouillon cube and a little water. I chopped the vegs. up and then put them in the processor. My kids never knew what was in the sauce!

Excellent, very hearty sauce. I made this the evening before a family "game night". Simmered for about 90 minutes on the first night and then about 30 minutes the following evening in preparation for serving. Flavors really blended nicely. Thanks for a great recipe!

This recipe turned out great. Instead of the pepperoni, I doubled the ground beef and added 12 oz of sausage. I ended up having to use pizza sauce because it was too thick. I also let it simmer all day instead of just two hours and it was fantastic!

I married into an Italian family, so I have had the pleasure of trying all kinds of sauces. This one was absolutely wonderful. My husband and I made it together and loved it. Yes, there are many ingredients to purchase, but it is well worth it. The recipe, as is, makes a ton....in fact, I am going to cut it in half next time. We loved the flavor, especially the fact that it is spicy and it is even better the next day. I would definately recommend it.
